Discussion TWL 8 rules

[Stabwound]

Well yeah, the only way you can do TWL FAIRLY without conferences is to make everyone play everyone else once, which will never happen because that will just take way too much time. The conference system is still a bit unfair because some teams play easier squads than others, but it's still more fair than a non-conference system where all teams do not play each other at least once.

[Awesome]

But what's your argument against it? Does having 8 or 10 or 30 asscaps hurt anything? let the squads decide how many asscaps they want.

I have no argument for or against the current number of assisntant captains. I'm just saying in most cases, assistant captains arent even a factor in TWL and when they are... theres usually at least one who shows up. Make the whole roster ast.capts (other than the 1-3 capts of course) .... makes no difference to me.

Thats waht i was trying to say =) If the conferences are4 picked well then it should be pretty even. I think teh public should have some say on how conferences are picked. Not to much say but i thik they should be heard.

[Sleepy Weasel]

Has anyone thought about picking the squads similar to how the BCS system works. We have a computer poll (twd) and a coaches poll (squad captains and TWL ops maybe) and combine the results? I'm happy with just using twd but thought I'd throw it out there.

Having 1 conference sounds the most fair to me. Assuming a 14 squad league (I think this coming TWLB will be 14 right?) ... everyone plays each other once ... so 13 games total? This even allows for some "revenge" elements in playoffs etc. It simply allows better comparison of which team is better too. This way we can also have head-to-head tiebreakers if need be.

[Stabwound]

Well the problem with that is with preseason and playoffs the TWL will go on for like 4 months...

[lunch3]

Well....13 is not much more then 10...but yeah seems long. How about we just get rid of the whole tournament structure and do single elimination for twlb....and have twlb more often.

thats almost a month more of games lunch Not to mention the delays and everything else thats always happens come twl.

[Sleepy Weasel]

can we get rid of the roster limit for twl please?

[Cig Smoke]

No, we dont need ppl to stack a squad with 40 members. We want the talent to be spread out a little bit so we have more then 1-2 competative squads. Keep it @ 35. Thats enough for a 3 league squad.

[lecherious young gun]

Uh

Can someone answer my question? What if by cut off a squad like ancients has like 50% of their roster intact but like half of those guys have been gone for over 10 days without logging on etc? Uh well i just noticed that, did ancients make playoffs last season? Anyway u get the point.

[Cig Smoke]

Im guessing as long as they are onthe roster yet, but im not 100% sure.

I think there should be some kind of laglimit for javs. I just played game in ?go base where Brokenfist was javing. I think he has about 300ms. He was impossible to kill when rocketing, he got hit by about 10 bullets but he still shot a bomb. Of course other solution could be removing rockets.

[Rion.]

Removing rockets would be stupid.

A) If a team has a good jav that doesn't lag, they're screwed over

B) This will lower the chance of diverse games and there will be even more 5 Spider lines etc etc...

I see your point however, I just don't think that removing rockets is the way to go about it.

Does that also count those players who are double squading like you guys on Shriek did last year?

And as someone who played for a cheating dsiaqualified squad last year, and as someone who currently plays for a squad who gave you suggestions for breaking into another squads private forum and posting private informaton, why would you care about the rules at all?

Oh wait, let me guess...You are trying to learn the rules so you know how to break them properly this time around?

Seeing Cig posts about league rules is just like listening to Bill Clinton lecture us on fidelity.
